 The ecological importance and diversity of Odonata are most often underestimated. However, their sensitivity to environmental conditions makes them excellent biological indicators of environmental conditions. The aim of this study is to explore the diversity of Odonata within and around Peleforo Gon Coulibaly University forest reserve, with a view to providing valuable data to guide conservation efforts. The Odonata were collected using a sweep net from May to August 2023. This study revealed a preliminary list of 28 species of Odonata including 26 species of Anisoptera and 2 species of Zygoptera belonging to 3 families (Libellulidae, Aeshnidae and Coenagrionidae). The Libellulidae family was the most diversify, comprising 25 species alone (or 98.66%). The Shannon-Weaver index and rarefied richness revealed that site S2 had significantly higher diversity values compared to other sites due to the different crops that provide favorable conditions for Odonata to survive. Site S1 proved to be the least inhospitable for the Odonata, because it was poor in vegetation. This result was also confirmed by the distribution profile of Odonata from the Self-Organising Map (SOM).
